At Raise the Future, we believe every young person goes through life knowing they have a caring adult by their side. So, every day, we show up for kids in foster care by listening to their needs and introducing them to adults they can rely on. We then surround those connections with support so that they grow into meaningful, lasting relationships that help our youth heal from the past. Since our founding in 1983, Raise the Future has designed and implemented evidence-based, wraparound services that reduce the amount of time youth in foster care live without a permanent family. Our programs increase the likelihood of forming and sustaining positive connections that help to transform their futures. I ensure the integrity and security of the organization's philanthropic database and systems, providing data management, reporting, data integration, and support to the development team. I record and manage all philanthropic gifts and stewardship activites.

For more than 125 years, Iliff has been at the forefront of theological education. It is recognized nationally and internationally for its emphasis on peace, justice, and ethics. I provide database management, gift management, donor relations/stewardship, annual fund, and prospect development services for the Office of Institutional Advancement.
